Working on a design for a truck camper I'm building in the spring - this is my first real system, beyond just using a goal-zero, or slapping a single panel on top of my SUV with a PWM controller. I'm planning on a 24v system. I think I have all the info needed to critique it on here, but let me know if I didn't include everything needed. The plan is to be able to run an induction cooktop, as well as water kettle off the inverter, and the 12v side needs to be able to handle the 12v water heater, as well as the startup of the water pump, amongst other more normal level loads.
I have a couple of questions right off the bat -
I'm planning on victron for the items labeled that way, the batteries are SOK, with low temp protection (and planning on a heating pad for them as well). The 24v inverter is a Giandel. I also tried to simplify the gauges of wiring I'd use too, just using 10awg for a lot of it, even when smaller would work. Then 6 and 2 for where I needed larger, and probably 14 for the longer runs to the small 12v lights, fans, etc.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

- For the line running from the truck battery to the DC/DC charger, I was planning on a breaker right by the truck battery, and another one back in the camper, so I can easily flip off the truck battery from there, to make sure I'm isolated before doing any work in there. Is that a problem? Not necessary?
- Do I need a breaker between the bus bar and the 24v to 12v converter?
